1. Orientation - Lonely Planet.com
Seattle is situated in the west of Washington, the northwestern-most state in the 'lower 48'. The largest city in the state, Seattle sits on a skinny slip of land between the Puget Sound and Lake Washington. Lake Union and the Lake Washington Ship Canal divide the city into northern and southern halves; downtown and the Capitol Hill and Queen Anne neighborhoods lie south of the canal, with the U District to the northeast.

2. Seattle Activities
In good weather, the surface of Lake Union offers fine sailing, as well as sea and white-water kayaking. The Waterfront Activities Center on the University of Washington campus rents canoes and rowboats. Seattle is fortunate to have several ski areas within easy drive of the city. Closest are the ski slopes at Snoqualmie Pass and Stevens Pass, 80 miles (125km) east of Seattle, and Crystal Mountain, 75 miles (121km) southeast of town near Mt Rainier..
